Possible rating issue

Hello, my overall score seems to be blocked at 678 in the last couple of hours, even after winning several games. I suppose this might be a bug, though it differs from the other similarly titled threads I’ve seen in the forum.

Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Hello,

yeah, there was a “short” outage when ranking did not update fast enough yesterday, but everything should be all caught up now again.

Sorry about that.

Thanks for the explanation, AdamR! I noticed indeed that ranking started updating again after a while, quite a relief.

Another, more benign, issue I am now seeing is that the “games played” counter on my profile page is blocked at 5000 ranked games.

As I know its been like that for all of OGS existence

All right, then.

Yup, the chart only plots the last 5000 games at most.

It used to be a “safety limit” as not to overload the server. Possibly, it might be an outdated precaution with the current technology (I am not sure) it does not come up THAT often, so congrats on being a hell of an active player :D.

Thanks for the clarification. I don’t really mind losing count of how many games I’ve played. It is certainly a lot in a fairly short time, since I haven’t been able to go to my “in person” club these last few months.
I did make some progress (from the initial 25k to 22k), but then I started losing again, so I’m trying to do more tsumego and studying, until I can play on a physical goban again.

5000 is not that much in fact, and some players reached already this limit.

Would it be something difficult to raise it to let say 3 or 10 times (50000)

Maybe it deserves a call at @anoek?
